Özet

© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Purpose: This study aims to determine nurses’ positive psychological capital (PsyCap) levels and to examine their relationships with employee voice (EV) and organizational silence (OS) behaviors. Design and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional and correlational study collected data from 341 nurses working at a public university and a private university hospital. The data were collected with the positive PsyCap, EV, and OS scales. Findings: Statistically significant positive relationships were found between positive PsyCap and EV, and between positive PsyCap and relational silence. However, there was a statistically significant negative relationship between positive PsyCap and individual silence. Practice Implications: Nurse managers should support nurses and allow them to participate in decisions that can contribute to nursing, healthcare institution, and the quality of healthcare services.
